Pros

Many friendly and intelligent people work for the company. At one point, they had great benefits, but started taking many of those away due to "cost".

Cons

The leadership is awful. Working at Bestow is very much a popularity contest, and when you make someone mad, you are out of the club. Most everyone is doing the job of two to three people, which is not scalable in the long term. The company's HR people are snarky know-it-alls who should not be working in HR. The company itself changed business models multiple times, which led to layoffs and lots of churn. I would advise to steer clear of the company no matter what department you work within. Some departments have turned their teams over 2-3 times,

Pros

Pros: • Honestly, very few. You might get paid eventually. • Some coworkers are decent people — too bad most don’t stick around.

Cons

Cons: • They don’t pay on time. Ever. You’ll spend more time chasing your paycheck than doing your actual job. Expect delays, excuses, and complete silence when you ask about your money. • Leadership is a joke. The people running this place have no idea what they’re doing. Decisions are made based on ego, not logic, and they treat employees like disposable tools. • Toxic environment. Petty office politics, zero accountability, and constant blame-shifting. Don’t expect respect, honesty, or professionalism — it doesn’t exist here. • No structure, no strategy, no future. Everything is reactive. Plans change daily. You’ll be asked to fix problems caused by upper management’s incompetence, only to be blamed when things go wrong. • HR is useless. If you report a problem, it either gets ignored or you get labeled “difficult.” • High turnover and zero morale. People quit weekly. It’s a revolving door of burned-out employees and broken promises. • Micromanagement and chaos. You’ll be overworked, underpaid, and under constant stress — all for a company that doesn’t care if you burn out.
